Former Auburn legend Cam Newton decided to show this some support Colorado buffalo recently. He had one awkward pre-game interaction with their two superstar quarterbacks Shedeur Sanders and two-way star Travis Hunter.

“It was controversial. It was a bit awkward. Not just with Shedeur, but with Travis…I think to protect our conversation. And I think I must and will obey that,” Newton explained.

“I think the difference between that age of the athletes and the age of the athletes themselves when I played. So it's aimed directly at the consumer. And I even shared this with Shedeur. I said, brother, there is a lot of support for you. And your father. And even Colorado. You don’t see that because people don’t naturally dwell on the good,” Newton continued.

“You read the type of content you like. Or that gets your attention…. He [Shedeur Sanders] I have to understand that these are the big leagues now. But I also have to understand this. Sometimes I have more strength than I give myself,” Newton admitted.

He wanted to make sure of that Shedeur Sanders understands the day ZERO became legal, college players essentially became professionals.

“But I think Shedeur understands the day they allowed NIL to be legal, bro. You are no longer an amateur. They used to be able to protect the college athlete. “That’s not happening,” Newton said.
